Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

[Jose]

I predict two good Annas, one good Elsa, a decent Olaf, a Marshmallow, MAYBE a Kristoff... And some trolls that only move one body part, like the inhabitants of the Under the Sea scene at the Little Mermaid ride.

2 Annas, 2 Elsas, 2 Olafs, 1 Sven, 2 Kristoffs. That's my prediction

My prediction is 1 Anna, 3 Elsas, 5 Olafs, 1 Hans, and no Sven or Kristoff.

there have been rides based on Disney movies since Disneyland opened in 1955.

They were handled differently. Done for different reasons. And were the clear minority of attractions in the parks or being developed for decades.

 

[Phil12]

Was there ever any doubt?

Well, I was looking forward to Flash Frozen. Perhaps that will come after Frozen 2.

AND A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE

hahahah now that was funny

 

[Horizons1]

I habe read several things that contradict that. Not saying there won't be screens but that AA's are still part of the overall attraction.

Very few that are very simple figures. It will be mostly screens.

Why am I not surprised?

do you work in the new ride?

So with Frozen 2 officially happening, can we expect the same "shove it down my throat" treatment that frozen gave us?

Plus, there is a mini Frozen movie coming out with Live action Cinderella along with Frozen 2. So, Frozen will be on people's minds for a long time.

Who else is willing to bet that movie's gonna make money solely because of that short?

It absolutely will.

 

[JWG]

I think that's the point. All of this is probably timing so the next Frozen short (Frozen 2.5) can come right before live action Beauty and the Beast.

 

[lazyboy97o]

Is there any advertising to tell people that the short is in front of Cinderella?

Yeah, it's been mentioned in several of the commercials, featuring Olaf getting a shoe stuck in his head.

I feel like all they are doing is advertising the frozen short with the movie. I haven't seen to many ads for Cinderella just advertising the movie. It kind of makes me think they are not to sure about the movie and that's why they are pushing the frozen short so much.

Well, bear in mind, people are kind of soured on remakes. Furthermore, there have been many, many adaptations of Cinderella already. No matter how good the film is (and it is apparently VERY good, given by the overwhelmingly positive reviews I've seen), in this case Disney marketing was wise to tout the Frozen short.

Now, with the initial weekend out of the way, I think further advertising is going to focus more on the film itself.

I agree with this, but Disney was very smart to use the Frozen short to draw people in. For me, Cinderella really did steal the show.

After the movie, I had forgotten about the Frozen short, it was cute and simple enough, but forgettable. As far as short films go, I have seen much better.

Initially, I was concerned that the Frozen short would upstage Cinderella, and movie goers would be bored for some two hours of film after the short -- but no, it wasn't like that at all. And, I have already the forgotten the song, too.

Well, then, you need to buy it on iTunes.

But, but, we lost the Skyway too!!!!1111!!1!UNO!1!!

All joking aside, 20K closed eons ago and was a real mess for a while before that, even during an era when maintenance wasn't terribad.

Besides liability the skyway destroyed sight lines and showed you unthemed areas. Although I miss it in the big picture it makes since safety aside.
